7 Overview Precautions Precautions On safety Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible. The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. Do not aim the laser at people or not look into the laser transmitter. Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes the air coming out is hot. Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster out. Be sure to grasp the both sides of the projector with both your hands when carrying the projector. On illumination To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight. Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the contrast ratio. Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque draperies. It is desirable to install the projector in a room where floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color. On preventing internal heat build-up After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key on the Remote Commander or on the control panel, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running. Caution The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) on the front. Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector. On cleaning To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet. Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner. When replacing the lamp, clean the filter. On repacking Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory. On LCD projector The LCD projector is manufactured using highprecision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction. 7 (GB)

8 Features Features High brightness, high picture quality High brightness The high aperture ratio LCD panel with a microlens and the 300 W UHP lamp provide high brightness (light output 5200 ANSI lumen) and excellent uniformity on the picture. High contrast The newly developed optical system enables projection of twice as high a contrast as that of Sony s current models. High resolution By adopting three 1.3-inch, approximately 790,000- pixels XGA panels, this projector can project sharp picture with the resolutions of pixels for RGB input, and 750 horizontal TV lines for video input. High picture performance The DDE (Dynamic Detail Enhancer) technology, originally developed by Sony, enables converting interlace format video signals to progressive format, allowing you to obtain a detailed picture. The technology also reproduces the film sources in 2-3 Pull-Down format with smooth picture movement. The internal RGB enhancer provides sharper RGB pictures. The 10-bit 3D Digital Gamma correction for good picture uniformity is also provided. Convenient and flexible setup Power zoom/power focus lens and the lens shift function The projector is equipped with a 1.3-times power zoom and power focus lens, which allows you to change the size of the projected image without having to move the projector. The lens shift function enables you to install the projector in a wide range of locations, without worrying about trapezoid distortion. Also, three optional lenses are available for the projector, depending on your setup condition. Center positioned lens The projector is designed to locate the lens in the center of the unit. This enables an easy setup, as the lens center aligns with the center of the screen. Tilt installation (in front and rear) You can install the projector by tilting it 90 degrees at the rear or 90 degrees in front. You can use a mirror for rear projection. Twin stack installation Thanks to the lens shift function, two projectors can be stacked, which improves the brightness of the image. Multi scan compatibility DVI and 5BNC connectors The projector has the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) connector, the up-to-date digital input connector, which allows you to connect to the digital or analog RGB equipment equipped with the DVI output. The 5BNC input connectors allow you to connect to workstation output high-resolution signals and to connect to a computer from a long distance. The projector has 44 preset data for input signals in the memory, which allows you to project a clear picture on the screen simply by connecting equipment and pressing the APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) key. Accept various input signals The projector accepts video signals of the composite, S video and component, and can also display the 15k RGB, DTV, HDTV, VGA 1), SVGA 1), XGA 1), SXGA 1) and UXGA 1) (fv=60 Hz) signals. Scan converter built-in The projector has a built-in scan converter which converts the input signal within pixels. Compatible with six color systems NTSC 3.58, PAL, SECAM, NTSC ), PAL-M or PAL-N color system can be selected automatically or manually. Other function Networking compatibility The projector is equipped with a PC CARD slot and ETHER connector, which allows you to connect to a wired or wireless LAN.

However, we recommend you to set the output signal of your computer to the XGA. If you set your computer, such as a notebook type IBM PC/AT 1) compatible, to output the signal to both the display of your computer and the external monitor, the picture of the external monitor may not appear properly. In such cases, set the output mode of your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your computer. This projector complies with DDC1 and DDC2B (Plug & Play). (DDC1 and DDC2B are the Display Data Channel (DDC TM ) 2) standard in the VESA standard.) When connecting a DDC1 host system, the projector synchronizes with V.CLK that follows the VESA standard and outputs EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line. When connecting a DDC2B host system, the projector automatically switches to the appropriate communication mode. The INPUT B RGB (DVI) connector complies with the VESA DDC2B. If your computer or graphics board is compatible with DDC, turn on the power of the equipment as follows: 1 According to the input signal, set INPUT-B TERM. in the SET SETTING menu to PC ANALOG or PC DIGITAL. 2 Connect the projector to the computer with the DVI cable. 3 Turn on the power of the projector. 4 Boot up the computer.
